About Us

Our history

Store owner and passionate cyclist, Michael "Wooly" Kamahl has steered the store to success over the past 44 years and has greatly contributed to the profile of cyclists in Sydney through vigorous community involvement.

Striking out at the age of 16, he began his lifelong love of bicycles as a mechanic that included a stint servicing bikes out of his ute on the UNSW campus. In 1979 he put it all on the line and opened a retail space in the current location, trading $7 on his first day – off to a flying start!

Wooly has seen it all from the introduction of aluminium, to the death of friction shifters, the start of the carbon wave and the ‘zzzt’ of electronic shifting. Many of the custom built steel framed bikes hand brazed on the premises using specially imported Reynolds tubing are still in circulation today!

Wooly prides himself and his store on independence and a love of doing things well.
